The Secrets of Veils

Deciding on whether to have a veil or not should work in conjunction with the type of hairstyle you decide to wear. Talking to your hairstylist will help you to decide on both your hairstyle and veil. Also, veils should complement your wedding dress. They vary in lengths, from just below the shoulder, the shortest style and are usually in two or more tiers, to waist or hip level, which is a good length to show off beautiful edging, or detailing to match the dress. These shorter veils work very well with full-skirted wedding gowns. Then there are the full-length and cathedral trains, which are very long, and float behind the bride along the aisle. These tend to come in silk tulle, which gives them the appearance of floating, and are perfect for bias-cut or column-style dresses.
